Diverging risk assessments in the area of mobile communications

If you want to find out whether the radiation of mobile phones is a health hazard, you will find dozens of contradictory risk assessments on the internet. For the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) in Germany, together with the Research Foundation for Electricity and Mobile Communications (FSM) of the ETH Zurich we worked on a comparison of those risk assessments that can be found on the internet.

 

The aim of the research project was to show the basics of risk assessments, to analyse the process of risk assessment of different institutions and to make it transparent. The different risk assessments were compared to each other without judging them.
